Celebrity Apprentice returns tonight for its fourth season with what is being called the most dramatic cast to date.
While the show boasts 16 “celebrities” this season, Mr. Donald Trump can thank one particular castmember in general who seems to be bringing most of the drama based on the show’s previews.
Bravo housewife Nene Leakes, known for running her mouth speaking her mind on the Real Housewives of Atlanta, is taking her drama schtick to the NBC network, with Star Jones playing the role of Kim Zolciak.
Nene has spent the past couple of weeks slamming Star in the press, you know, calling her “special” and stating she “wouldn’t spit on Star if she was on fire.” Star on the other hand has appeared to take the high road in the feud, stating in a recent interview that she did not want to contribute to the stereotype of the “bombastic black woman.”
Nene however sees things differently. “I’m not surprised that Star used the ‘black women need to get along. Oh, she’s just being a black woman being mad or yelling or whatever,’” Nene tells Zap2It in a recent interview. “She has no fault in this. So, let’s just say that. You can not argue by yourself.” Nene goes on to refer to Star as “phony,” adding, “I’m like this, if you are a b***h, own it. Be a b***h 24 hours, own that. Be that.”
So what is Nene’s strategy on Celebrity Apprentice you ask? “Going into ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’ I didn’t have any strategies,” admits Nene. “I was a little scared going there. I saw Donald and I thought that he was scary. You know, mean-mugging you and not really smiling. So, I was really scared of that. I just went in, thinking to myself that I’m just here to fight for my charity and I don’t want to be voted off first. That’s all I thought.”
Moving on to tonight’s season premiere — the “sixteen celebrities engage in business-themed battles when Donald Trump’s competition series begins its 11th season. In the opener, the stars must manage a New York City pizzeria.” The celebrities include La Toya Jackson, Lisa Rinna, Richard Hatch, Marlee Matlin, Dionne Warwick, Gary Busey, David Cassidy, Lil Jon, Meat Loaf and Mark McGrath.

Ur right, @Delaney, think up to 1/2 of NayNay’s nastiness is put on 4 the cam’s……….she’s probably semi “normal” really……….whatever that is…………….LOL…
I disagreed with the Donald. Letting Hatch be a bully, is that how you run your business Trump? If Hatch had treated a woman they way he treated David Cassidy…would that been ok too? Hatch didnt do his job in getting the players in bring in the money…isnt that what its all about here?
I love this first episode…….it is going to be a very good season of CA……
LOL…at Star needing a decent wig….at one point I thought the thing would come right off. Nene did impress me because she got down to business and worked.
What was up with Lisa Rhinna (sp)? New saw her in that light…..mouthy and all….
Did any one catch the Next Great Restaurant on before CA? It was pretty good and it also helped that two of my fav chefs where on there Bobby Flay and Curtis Stone….Hawt!!!
DC needed to go home….. All he did was keep looking back at Jose hoping he would protect him. So in a way, I guess Jose is the modern day St. Christopher…The Protector!!! Cassidy needs to grow a pair.
Thought NeNe was relatively well-behaved last night but I think she is totally out of her league. When she is the project manager, it will be interesting to see how she does.
David Cassiday came across as a real girlie-man last night. Jose did his best to help him but ultimately, he was too weak. I never knew he was such a small man! David was my first true love at 13 but now, no thanks.
I had a hard time picking Nene out of the cast photo. She looks like Friar Tuck in the background.
@56 desert blumer: ur right, nene is sporting a benedictine monk’s haircut, isnt she. how sad.
@november – agree think he kept the hatch to bring the drama…what an arrogant bastard.
@bond – yep watched the restaurant show…that Curtis is sooooooooo fine!!!!
David Cassidy – I am gonna miss you cuz I think I love you!!!!
Loved Jose…he is totally cute.
NeNe’s facial expressions in the boardroom looked like complete fear to me …with the realization that she is completing with educated & successful peeps. Poor NeNe…think she might be out of her element here.
Nene so didn’t look like she belonged lol
@gigi….lol at your take on Nene’s expression in the board room….she knows she is outta her league…..
Oh yeah btw ……Curtis and that voice so freaking HAWT….and it also helped that I got to see him again on CA.
Star and NeNe seem to be evenly matched in the arrogance/delusional area of their personalities. Fun!
@53 BondGirl – I caught the end of that show because as usual, I didn’t realize it was on – I love Bobby Flay too – and the show sounds pretty cool. Curious to see how it plays out.
I totally know that David Cassidy had to go and he was definitely very wimpy, but I would have waited for the second time around for him and cut Richard out up front
It won’t be long before Nene gets insecure and spits up on one of the women. She is a walking, talking piece of hate.
Star and Nene ganged up on Lisa from the first. From what was obvious on screen, off screen must have been worse. Since this is done (for charity) Lisa acted right when she decided not to get into the drama that was all planned out for her. Now it seems that the Star and the wannabe Nene , are trying to eliminate all the white women . Is Star really so dumb as not to know that it makes her look as low as Nene?
Nene should go back to where she came from.
Her 15 min should have been up long ago.
She bullies everyone in the Atlanta show.
Her next target is Michael Jackson’s sister, and I’m asking .. who IS SHE? It’s not fun anymore, she diminishes the Apprentice, the American culture at large.
You give Nene way too much credit. “diminishes the Apprentice, the American culture at large”
what a joke. So what, in your mind Apprentice is some sort of icon? It’s a gd tv show.
By chance are you taking it too seriously? j
